# Querying DebiCheck statuses

When performing DebiCheck authentication, you may receive the outcome of the authentication attempt by either signing up for our [authentication post back](https://banktech.gitbook.io/docs/services/authentication-postback) or by querying us for the status of the authentication attempt. Since you are visiting the Querying DebiCheck statuses article, we assume you are only interested in how to query the status of a DebiCheck authentication. This can be done in 2 ways:

```
GET: /mandates/dc/status
```

This will fetch the authentication status for a registered mandate.

* Rate limit: 1 per second
* Payload size: 1 DebiCheck mandate

{% hint style="success" %}
By using the registered mandate authentication method, we take care of updating the mandate authentication status when authenticating, saving you effort to do so yourself.
{% endhint %}

```
GET: /banking/dc/status
```

This will fetch the authentication status for a given authentication reference.

* Rate limit: 1 per second
* Payload size: 1 DebiCheck mandate

Typically this method is only used when using the banking straight through processing model for the authentication methods. BankTech will store the DebiCheck authentication status of registered mandates for you, unless the authentication status was not returned by the acquiring bank. If no status is available after a registered mandate is authenticated through BankTech, [let us know](https://support.bank.tech).
